MFS1S00-H005V 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable

Product Overview

The NVIDIA® Mellanox MFS1S00-H005V is a high-performance 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered for next-generation data centers. This Optical Fiber Cable solution delivers exceptional bandwidth, low latency, and extended reach up to 100 meters, making it ideal for high-speed interconnects in HDR InfiniBand and 200 Gigabit Ethernet environments. Unlike passive copper alternatives, this active passive fiber cable alternative provides superior signal integrity over longer distances while maintaining high port density and power efficiency.

Key Characteristics

• Supports 200Gb/s data rate (4x 50Gb/s PAM4 lanes)
• Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
• Low power consumption: 5.0W typical per end
• Reach up to 100 meters with multi-mode fiber
• RoHS compliant and SFF-8636 management interface
• Programmable Rx output amplitude and pre-emphasis

Technology & Standards

This Optical Fiber Cable complies with industry standards including SFF-8665 (QSFP56 hardware) and SFF-8636 (management interface). It uses VCSEL-based optical technology and supports PAM4 modulation for high-speed data transmission. The cable integrates digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance tracking, including temperature, voltage, and optical power per lane.

Working Principle

The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals via integrated VCSEL transmitters. These signals are transmitted over multi-mode fiber and converted back to electrical signals at the receiving end. Each end of the cable contains a full optical transceiver with retiming capabilities, ensuring signal integrity and compliance with host system requirements. The built-in I²C interface enables communication with the host for configuration and monitoring.

Applications

• 200G InfiniBand HDR systems
• 200GbE switches and adapters
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Cloud data center interconnects
• Storage area networks (SAN)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum distance supported by this Optical Fiber Cable?
A: The cable supports lengths up to 100 meters using multi-mode fiber.

Q: Is this cable compatible with 100GbE systems?
A: Yes, it supports backward compatibility with 100GbE when used with appropriate rate selection.

Q: Does this AOC require external power?
A: No, it is powered directly through the QSFP56 port per SFF-8636.

Q: Can I use this as a passive fiber cable replacement?
A: Yes, it serves as a high-performance alternative to passive fiber cables with better signal integrity over distance.

Precautions

• Do not bend the cable beyond a 30 mm radius.
• Ensure ESD precautions during handling and installation.
• Verify host system compatibility before deployment.
• Operate within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
• Use protective caps when not connected.
